Description:
A large discrepancy between the measured values of downwelling hemispheric shortwave 
radiation and the derived values occurred on 2/02 at the listed sites.  The difference is on 
the order of 200 Wm^(-2) at E2 and to a lesser extent at the other affected stations.  
This problem most likely resulted from a previous day or night snow/ice accumulation on 
the Direct(NIP), Downwelling Sortwave(PSP) and/or  Downwelling Diffuse(8-48) instruments.  
During the morning hours of 02/02, Approx 1300-2000GMT, snow/ice was covering one or more 
of these three instruments resulting in faulty readings and incorrect derived 
downwelling shortwave values as well.  Instrument readings indicate the problem resolved itself 
later in the day through normal meltoff.

SGP/SIRS/E9 - PSP dome contamination
DataStreams:sgpsirsE9.00, sgpsirsE9.b1, sgpsirs20sE9.a0
Description:
Measured values of diffuse shortwave downwelling radiation fluctuated below derived values 
of downwelling shortwave radiation by 50 W/m^2 during the afternoon hours under clear 
conditions. 

SMOS precipitation and wind speed data reveals rain and wind the night before on 02/20/03 
0100 GMT probably contaminated the PSP dome with dirt.

Precipitation of .25mm on 02/23/04 0300 seems to have effectively cleared the PSP dome 
since PSP data on 02/24/04 compares correctly to direct and diffuse components.

SGP/SIRS/E11 - PSP dome contamination

Description:
Measured values of diffuse shortwave downwelling radiation fluctuated below derived values 
of downwelling shortwave radiation during the afternoon hours under clear conditions, 
probably due to a dirty PSP dome. 

SMOS precipitation and wind speed data reveal rain and wind on 02/19/03 at 2300 GMT 
probably contaminated the PSP dome with dirt.

Precipitation of .4mm on 02/29/04 1400 seems to have effectively cleared the PSP dome

SGP/SIRS/E2 - Reprocess: Incorrect shortwave radiometer calibration coefficients
DataStreams:sgpsirsE2.00, sgpsirsE2.b1
Description:
During the pyrgeometer instrument (PIR) changout a datalogger program was loaded with 
incorrect calibration coefficients for the shortwave instruments.  The affected measurements 
were : downwelling diffuse (DD), upwelling shortwave(US), direct normal (NIP) and 
downwelling shortwave(DS)

Recalculate irradiances by determining original mV signal and reapplying the correct 
calibration coefficients.  For each one minute irradiance value perform the following 
calculations by instrument:
DD(corrected) = (DD/107.24)*118.11
US(corrected) = (US/113.19)*118.21
NIP(corrected)= (NIP/120.17)*119.08

SGP/SIRS/E2 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsE2.b1
Description:
Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in February 2004. 
These modified procedures introduced a calibration bias in the longwave data.  The 
previous procedures were re-implemented at all sites between December 2005 and February 2006 to 
restore proper calibrations.

The data collected while the incorrect procedures were in place have been reprocessed to 
remove the calibration bias.  The reprocessed 60 second averaged data are based on 3 
instantaneous 20 second data records rather than on 60 1 second instanteous data records.  
Still, these data are considered far superior to the originally processed data.  The 
reprocessed data were archived in September 2006.

SGP/SIRS/E10 - Reprocessed: Longwave Calibration error
DataStreams:sgpsirsE10.b1
Description:
Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in February 2004. 
These modified procedures introduced a calibration bias in the longwave data. The previous 
procedures were re-implemented at all sites between December 2005 and February 2006 to 
restore proper calibrations.                                                               
              
The data collected while the incorrect procedures were in place have been reprocessed to 
remove the calibration bias.  The reprocessed 60 second averaged data are based on 3 
instantaneous 20 second data records rather than on 60 1 second instantaneous data records. 
Still, these data are considered far superior to the originally processed data. The 
reprocessed data were archived in August 2006.

Description:
Modified pyrgeometer calibration procedures were implemented beginning in July 2003. These 
modified procedures introduced a calibration bias in the longwave data. The previous

restore proper calibrations. 

The data collected while the incorrect procedures were in place have been reprocessed to
